Multiple fire companies responded Thursday to a brush fire in the vicinity of Forge Hill Road and Route 9W around the Cornwall-New Windsor border.

The fire went to four alarms shortly before 3:30 p.m. A request was forwarded to CSX to halt all rail traffic, as the fire was close to the west shore railroad tracks at one point.

Fire companies from Newburgh south to West Point and Monroe were either called to the scene or were on standby duty.

A second brush fire, described as small and smoldering, was reported in the vicinity of Shore Road and River Avenue in Cornwall-on-Hudson shortly after 2:30 p.m. Another brush fire was reported in the vicinity of Frost Lane in Cornwall.
